Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are a type of extracellular vesicle that carries many types of molecular information. The identification of sEVs is essential for the non-invasive detection and treatment of illnesses. Hence, there is a significant need for the development of simple, sensitive, and precise methods for sEV detection. Herein, a DNA tweezers-based assay utilizing a "turn-on" mechanism and proximity ligation was suggested for the efficient and rapid detection of sEVs through amplified fluorescence. The target facilitates the proximity combination of the C1 probe and C2 probe, resulting in the formation of a complete extended sequence. The elongated sequence can cyclically initiate the hairpin probe (HP), leading to the activation of DNA tweezers. An excellent linear correlation was achieved, with a limit of detection of 57 particles per μL. Furthermore, it has been effectively employed to analyze sEVs under intricate experimental conditions, demonstrating a promising and pragmatic prospect for future applications. Given that the identification of sEVs was successfully accomplished using a single-step method that exhibited exceptional sensitivity and strong resistance to interference, the proposed technique has the potential to provide a beneficial platform for accurate recognition of sEVs and early detection of diseases.
